Essential Energy
Essential Energy builds, operates and maintains one of Australia’s largest electricity distribution networks, providing a vital service to 890,000 customers across regional, rural and remote communities.
Our network footprint covers 95 per cent of New South Wales and parts of southern Queensland, traversing 737,000 square kilometres of diverse landscape from the desert to the coast, across alpine to sub-tropical.
Delivering safe and reliable power for our communities is at the core of what we do.
The poles and wires that line our streets deliver the energy that powers the homes, hospitals, schools and businesses that form our communities. But they can also allow for communities to generate, share and store their own electricity.
Through innovation and technology, we are actively supporting the energy transition by inspiring and enabling the network of the future.
Underpinning this is our commitment to the safety of our employees, contractors and the community. We strive to continuously improve our safety performance and we work with the people we serve to promote electrical safety awareness.
We’re dedicated to giving back to the communities where we live and work.
We’re constantly maintaining the poles and wires to meet customers’ needs and on call 24/7 to fix power outages.
For power outages and network enquiries, we’ve got you covered.

Matisse
Matisse Professional Artist Acrylics & Medium
Since inception Derivan has been committed to providing the arts community with the world’s finest-quality artist acrylic colours and mediums. The company’s founders had a vision “to make Australian-made premium paint available to artists worldwide while remaining environmentally and socially responsible”. This was to be achieved while maintaining the quality and personal touch that only a family company can provide. We have succeeded in just that, and Derivan has grown from a tiny affair first registered in 1958 as Vynol Paints Pty Ltd and operating out of stables in Sydney’s inner city suburb of Kings Cross to the multinational operation it is today. Our vision is – we are here to provide the finest products that can be made, guided by the requirements of our customers. This is our promise to you, the artist, and is realised in our range of premium acrylics and mediums, and all made to the highest standards to ensure the most brilliant and pure results.

Dungog Wholefood Co-op
The Dungog Wholefood Co-operative sells fresh, seasonal fruit and veggies, bulk whole foods, personal care and cleaning products out of our shop at 205 Dowling Street. We are passionate about good, fair food. That means our products are delicious, healthy and affordable. It also means they are sustainably and ethically produced and not covered in plastic. We operate under a co-operative business model ensuring the co-op is member owned and operated. That means we control what we stock and profits go back into the co-op itself – not into the pockets of a few investors.
